Your guide to London Oyster Week

The old saying goes that you should only eat oysters in months containing an ‘r’. London Oyster Week (21-29 April) is here to put a stop to all of that though, by highlighting the best all-year-round offerings from London’s oyster scene. Shellfish enthusiasts can buy an Oyster Week passport here, which gives access to exclusive dishes and offers across the capital. See our pick of the best below, and get shucked.
